Surprising Moments in MACAU

Discover MACAU

Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China since 20 December 1999, and benefits from the principle of “one country, two systems”. The tiny SAR is growing in stature and recognition as the number and diversity of its attractions transform it into a key entertainment centre of Asia.

Its long history under the Portuguese resulted in a unique society combining the East and West. Having been accorded the UNESCO World Heritage status, Macau is a destination that preserves its multi-cultural heritage alongside state-of-the-art tourist facilities, and complemented by a full calendar of festivals, sports and special events year round.
